The given therapy examples are to be seen as standard values and have to be ^co-ordinated
with your doctor.
In order to achieve a steady irradiation intensity at short irradiation times, the unit should be
switched on approx. 30 seconds before starting the therapy treatment.
For the therapy success it is essential to pre-treat your skin or scalp, i.e. to remove scale.
For the sake of simplicity we have based the following descriptions on skin type 2 (applies to
the majority of Central Europeans).
Guide values for skin type 2, first exposure :
approx. 60 seconds for each irradiated area of the body;
approx. 5-6 minutes for the entire hair-covered scalp.
